Leadership & culture
Good journalism is a team sport, even if we tend to only byline the reporter. I want to help build collaborative newsrooms that truly listen to the public, value all contributions and reward those who are generous with their knowledge. We have too many stories of toxic culture in our industry. No brilliant jerks tolerated here.
My proudest achievement is the joyful and high-performing team I was able to build at LinkedIn. My greatest reward is their continued trust and friendship long after I've stopped being their boss.
